Bondi Junction (Ghermez Cupcakes & Ramen Kan)

Spent the day shopping at Bondi Westfields. After reading all the rave reviews about Ghermez Cupcakes, I really wanted to try them. Went up to level 5 and bought 4 cupcakes to take home before they sold out as I heard they run out quickly. I was rather disappointed with how they tasted. The butter cream was a bit too sweet which left an after taste of butter in the mouth and the base was not as moist but rather dry. At $3.80 per cupcake, I don't think it is worth the price. I prefer the cupcakes at Cupcakes on Pitt St.

1. Chocolate Marshmallow

2. Pistachio and Rose

3. White Chocolate


4. Espresso- Was in a hurry to eat it and forgot to take a picture.

We all felt like eating Japanese for lunch at Ramen Kan. I enjoyed my meal while my friends didn't really like their meals.

1. Teriyaki Yakisoba $11.50
(Friend said this dish was way too salty)



2. Tan Tan Ramen $11.50
(I enjoyed this dish but the meat was lacking with only a few bits of pork mince)


3. Crab Crispy Yakisoba $14.50
(Friend said it tasted good at first but the overload of sauce got overpowering)

4. Gyoza $5.90
(Found these Gyoza's quite small and overcooked)

Betty Crocker Vanilla Cupcakes

Betty Crocker released a new cupcake mix and since I was lazy to make my own I decided buying the pre-mix was the easiest option. It's fairly easy to make these cupcakes as all ingredients are provided except for the butter and water. Follow instructions according to packet.


Combine the ingredients and mix:

After folding in egg whites into the mixture, place into cupcake paper and then into the OVEN! Once cupcakes are springy and cooked, leave to cool.

Frost with given icing.

Cupcakes were light and springy but a little too sweet for my liking. Next time I think I will make my own from scratch.
